⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - Grandmother says she doesn't buy gifts for her grandchildren for Christmas, says she invests the money for them instead.
"I will not be buying gifts for my grandchildren. You think you hate me, don't you?"
"They have their mom and dad and they have their aunts and uncles who buy them all the toys, all the things."
"Every month I invest a flat amount, and then every birthday they get a bonus, and every Christmas they get a bonus."
"I just want them to have a better future or a better start at adulthood than what I had..."

I being something similar for next generation in my family. 🪙
I just assume people are gay when they say that.
Good Morning

⚡️🔔 A YEAR PASSES TOGETHER - One year is a complete revolution of the Earth around the Sun.
Today, nostr:nprofile1qqsy67zzq5tc9cxnl6crf52s4hptdwhyaca5j7r8jwll535tdadedvcprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qy28wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hsat8e57 closes its challenge and honors its promise: to inform you for a full year, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day — weekends and public holidays included.
At first, I wanted to end on a high note. I had countless ideas: making a video edited by myself, coding a website for the occasion, doing a live stream… Then I remembered the best advice I received here: “Stay humble.”
So I’ll keep it simple.
First and foremost, please know that I am proud to have kept you informed for an entire year, with transparency, consistency, and objectivity. Believe it or not, all my notes have only one intention: to convey the truth. If some of them have upset you, that's not my problem; it's just that reality is sometimes harsh.
Here is my latest POW, the complete summary:
➥ 11,500 + 19,100 = 30,600 activity traces
➥ 30,600 / 365 = 83.83 activity traces per day
➥ 19,100 / 365 = 52.33 notes per day
➥ 8 × 365 = 2,920 hours of work
Result:
➥ 0 → 16,500 followers
➥ 0 → 5 million sats
I gave myself the means to achieve this. If you follow me, you know that I was present in your feed at any time of the day, without any automation. I swear. Everything was done by hand. The Flash touch is visible on each of my notes—that's what defines my work.
I didn't meet all my goals, but I exceeded some of them. For example, I didn't expect to reach 16,500 followers; I was aiming for 5,000.
On the other hand, where I failed was on the stack. I expected to reach at least 0.1 BTC. In the end, I barely managed to reach half that — until yesterday, I was still at 0.04 BTC.
But there is also something that was not planned for, and which far exceeds all the numerical targets mentioned above: your trust.
My greatest achievement is having managed to earn it. Honestly, it was not something I had included in my forecasts. Trust cannot be planned or forced—it is built, day after day, note after note.
Beyond the numbers, that's what really matters. Everything can be measured except trust. And yet, today on Nostr, that's my most valuable asset.
Not to mention the wonderful people I have met here. For fear of forgetting anyone, I won't mention any names, but know this: I know your usernames, your photos, your writing style, your way of zapping. I have observed everything, taken everything into consideration, with the utmost respect. Thank you all, you have been the fuel for Flash, because without you I would have stopped a long time ago.
Before I leave you, I would sincerely like your feedback:
➥ What did you think of Flash’s work throughout 2025?
➥ What do you expect from me for the coming year?
As they say, it’s at the end of the dance that the musicians get paid. Here are the two ways to support my work ⤵︎
➥ Lightning address: flash@primal.net
➥ Bitcoin address: bc1qwn8ralumqgar7vqfhftr264a7dxp0akstwx9fq
Thank you for everything.
Good morning
Merry Christmas Everyone
⚡️🎄🎁 nostr:nprofile1qqsy67zzq5tc9cxnl6crf52s4hptdwhyaca5j7r8jwll535tdadedvcprfmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68yurvv438xtnrdaksz8rhwden5te0dehhxarj95crztnev94kj6r0dehx2tnrdaks9prg7l wishes you all a Merry Christmas and wonderful end-of-year holidays.
The most important thing is to wish you happiness — like that kid getting a Nintendo 64 for Christmas in 1998.

Marry Christmas
Not a problem with Blitz for me. I just like to have separation. One wallet for nostr, Blitz for everyday transactions, then my cold storage.

Plus it's in Zapstore.

I personally like Ruger. I haven't used the other listed but my Ruger 22 has never failed me.
That's a great area. I haven't taken the ferry the there but I have taken the ferry from Alameda to SF and I have taken the ferry to camp on Angel Island a couple of years ago.
Possibly yeah.
On the other side, some people are so naive to think it could work. What do you think?
I think they think that their actions will actually change. I don't believe their actions will change any. It's sad to me that people will destroy their own communitys trying to change something in another country. They could volunteer or do something else for their own community that would do so much more to help out people then blocking streets and break stuff.
I listen to your show.
Some ladies are just into birds.
People just want to bitch about things.
